Anthropic's grab-bag plugin of working skills — brainstorming, planning aids and more — installable from the plugins browser.

Pick this when

You want the vetted first-party skill set before shopping marketplaces — brainstorming alone justifies it.

What makes it different

Brainstorming skill reasons about FEASIBILITY, beyond plan mode's context-gathering

First-party: the safe default in a marketplace full of unvetted prompts

What it does

Bundles multiple skills under one plugin install

What it does not do

Common wrong expectations

Doesn't replace domain skills — it's general-purpose thinking tools
